but I think that I am superior to you, simply because God told me so.

So far, you are speaking of Islam. No one disagrees with you. But let's talk about Judaism for a moment. If you can find this thought expressed in an authentic Jewish text, please let me know.

One of the prayers from the Jewish Talmud for boys to pray, thank god I was born a boy, not a girl, or a slave, or a retard? Now I am not a scholar in the Jewish religion, but that is what I read somewhere a few years ago. I imagine, even if that is correct, Jewish believers are too smart to keep hanging on such stupidity. Other things in the old testament deal with how unclean people who work in funeral businesses, or women who have their period, or having yeast in bread,....Now most of my Jewish friends do not take any of these things seriously. In the same way Christianity is loaded with lots of nonsense that modern Christians learned to ignore. For example, more than 50% of Christian Women would not outlaw abortion despite of the bible commanding from them “do not kill”!

I also forgot to say: You are proving my point by asking that Islam is full of nonsense, but Judaism is not? That also indicates that you are not Christian either, otherwise, you would have said: Islam is bad but Christianity and Judaism are good? The reality is, ALL are good, just don’t take them too seriously. These are bunch of desert people writing codes of conducts that depicts their life thousands of years ago. Good, that was needed to compel people to be nice to one another. Now people must learn to coexist, and reject the sense of superiority, or the idea that God loves more than you, or you going to burn if you don't believe!!!
